Id like to hear thoughts. Of course us gamers hate kernel level anti cheat, but is that actually tied to secureboot?

I know some/most distros can boot in secure mode, so it doesn’t seem like an issue there.

With all the new games moving to it, looks like we will all have to sit them out or install Spyware (microshit) to play. I will opt not to.

    It’s not all bad necessarily, but that “anticheat” vendors are demanding it sure does suggest it’s being used for nefarious purposes.

      Except it was never about cheaters. It’s about DRM. You don’t own the things you buy and they want to make sure it stays that way.
